LuminoMark vs standard care for targeted armpit lymph node surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares a new imaging method (LuminoMark) to the usual approach for finding and removing cancer in the lymph nodes under the arm during surgery. It may help doctors more precisely target and remove the affected nodes, which could improve treatment and reduce side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 70 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer (cancer that started in the breast).
- The cancer has spread to the lymph nodes under your arm, confirmed by a biopsy or needle test.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you agree to use effective birth control if needed.
- You have not had cancer that came back, inflammatory breast cancer, or cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.

This trial studies whether a specific radiation approach after lumpectomy can be helpful for certain people with early breast cancer that did not spread to lymph nodes at diagnosis. It focuses on people who finish neoadjuvant (before-surgery) treatment and reach a full response on final pathology.
This trial compares two treatments for people with breast cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes: radiation therapy to the armpit or surgery to remove the lymph nodes. The goal is to see which approach works best after a tailored surgery to remove the most suspicious lymph nodes.
This trial studies a more targeted surgery to remove cancer-involved lymph nodes in the armpit after you finish chemotherapy before surgery. It may help doctors better remove affected nodes while avoiding unnecessary tissue removal.
This trial compares two methods to mark lymph nodes in the armpit after chemotherapy for breast cancer. It tests whether a carbon-based marker works as well as a metallic marker to help surgeons find and remove the right lymph nodes.
This trial tests whether radiation to the lower armpit (level I-II axilla) works as well as more extensive surgery for women with early-stage breast cancer that has spread to one or two sentinel lymph nodes (with cancer size > 2 mm). It aims to find a gentler treatment that still keeps the cancer from coming back.
This trial studies a type of radiation made with protons to treat only part of the breast after surgery (lumpectomy) for early-stage breast cancer. It may help control the cancer while aiming to reduce radiation to surrounding tissues.
